Uno cemented himself as a pillar of the rap scene in 2015, taking the underground by storm with the release of his No More Thotties mixtape and songs like "Parkin' Lot Pimpin'," "Giuseppe Swag," and "WHAT." Uno would respond to the craving for new music held by his fans for two years by releasing his debut studio mixtape Live.Shyne.Die in late 2017.
A desire for musical experimentation led to his mid-2018 EP Limbus. The series' second installment would release in December of that same year. This trend of experimentation would continue itself with the release of Uno's Deadication remix project in mid-2019.
Uno delivered Deadication II: Lost Files in early 2020, a mixtape containing vaulted songs dating back to 2017. In mid-2020, Uno released his highly-anticipated debut studio album, 8, which included popular tracks "Das Him," "Night Mode," and "Can't Go."
At the beginning of 2021, Uno would release his sophomore studio album, Unoverse, a 10-track LP that would mark his first independent release since his 2017 EP Sorry for the Wait. The project featured standout cuts "Taco Bell" and "Opp Pack." ~ Alexander L. & Hamed T.

UNOTHEACTIVIST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I peak it's
Feeling like I'm falling
I put on some Ricky jeans
And some Doc Martins
Finna go and hit the doc
And get a whole script
Like I need Jesus, I died and rose bitch
Oh, that's your ho? She touching toes
Like how she posing i put the dick in her
Go fast and then slow motion
You tell anybody we fucked
And then you're done
Live my lifestyle private, baby
Don't ruin the fun
Like to geek up and start partying
All night until the sun
Claim they put that shit on but
That lil' outfit ain't nothing
Come for me, get spit on
Promise you I'm not the one
I promise you I keep a gun
762 bullets, they hotter than the sun
Sometimes I try
What get me through it is the money
I text you like, "Girl
Why don't you get on that one-way?"
We kick shit like Jackie Chan
She like my feng shui i just wanna fuck her
I don't really wanna go on no lunch date
We get high then get the munchies
You know what she ate
I appreciate it nah, really, I appreciate it
Playing with my feelings was anticipated
Cut 'em off like I abbreviate how he feel?
They wanna' know how he feels
I'm just high off cheap thrills
And expensive thrills
I'm so fried, I turn my phone off
I don't wanna talk
I just want sit here and zone out
The more the world get colder
I get hotter with these songs
Sometimes I feel like it's too much
I just wanna be alone now
I don't know what's going on in the world
I'm in my bubble
Everybody got problems but some
Turned into struggle
I just wanna fuck you, no
I don't wanna' cuddle
I just be so deep inside my
Thoughts thinking 'bout this trauma
Not for the drama
They hate, 'cause I'm blowing up like Osama
Niggas still being vaginas
I ain't going, on my mama
I appreciate it nah, really, I appreciate it
Playing with my feelings was anticipated
Cut 'em off like I abbreviate how he feel?
They wanna' know how he feels
I'm just high off cheap thrills
And expensive thrills
I appreciate it nah, really, I appreciate it
Playing with my feelings was anticipated
Cut 'em off like I abbreviate how he feel?
They wanna' know how he feels
I'm just high off cheap thrills
And expensive thrills
The lyrics of "Withdrawals" by UnoTheActivist depict the artist going through emotional and psychological struggles. The first verse talks about a feeling of withdrawal, as if the artist is experiencing a separation or detachment from something or someone that they desire or are addicted to. This withdrawal is compared to a sense of falling, indicating a loss of stability and control. The mention of Ricky jeans and Doc Martins possibly symbolizes the artist's attempt to find comfort and confidence through fashion.
The lyrics also touch on themes of temptation and sexual encounters. The artist mentions visiting a doctor to obtain a prescription, possibly implying a reliance on substances to cope with their emotions. The mention of needing Jesus and dying and rising like him suggests a longing for spiritual guidance and rebirth.
The second verse delves deeper into the artist's mindset. They express a desire for privacy and personal enjoyment, seeking to protect their lifestyle and keep it separate from outside influences. The artist acknowledges their inclination to party and indulge in substances, admitting that these activities help them escape their problems and find temporary happiness.

This could be seen as a defense mechanism to guard against being hurt or taken advantage of.

Not seeking attention or unnecessary conflict

They resent me because I'm achieving significant success, just like Osama bin Laden
Niggas still being vaginas
I ain't going, on my mama
Men are still acting weak and cowardly, but I'm not backing down, I swear upon my mother
